The 46-year-old admits that’s when her mental health began to wane. Her doctor recommended seven more days of isolation but almost seemed as baffled as she was. On April 20, Ms. Myrick was feeling great. She was symptom-free and ready for her third test.

"I went back at Georgia Tech and was still positive. Now, I don’t know how many people are out there like myself. I could have been irresponsible and started going to the bank and the nail salon, but instead, I am in Isolation again, " she said in frustration.

Ms. Myrick says her advice to everyone is to stay home. She appears to have developed a heart issue following her battle with COVID-19, but she can’t see a cardiologist until she gets a negative test result. She admits she feels stuck.
